New Dreamcast Game Project in BennuGD

«Proyecto Bennu» (Bennu Project) is the provisional name for a new BennuGD game project for the Dreamcast console, which is a visual-novel adventure, with some minigames and puzzles apart from the story-reading and decision-making classic gameplay of this genre.

The project is still on development, but it’s near of its completion, and the developer left some screenshots for us to make an idea of how the game looks like.
